Looking into my grandmother's eyes (back right) at a moment of a day on the beach with her friends, whilst war raged across the channel, I try to imagine her and her friend's feelings. Also, that I might not have existed if my grandfather had passed his medical (he had a heart echo) and had fought in the war. In fact, he was a keen cyclist, later toured Norway and the Alps and would cycle 30 miles there and back to visit us well into his 70s!
